collaborationist
Enemy regime helper
A collaborationist is someone who cooperates with an enemy occupying their country, especially during wartime.
The term carries strong connotations of betrayal and treason: The collaborationist regime handed over resistance fighters to the Nazis.
While collaborator can be neutral (people collaborate on projects), collaborationist almost always implies political treachery.
